Guest guest Posted December 3, 2008 Report Share Posted December 3, 2008 Another non-vaccine harmed child?Inquest to begin into death of baby after MMR vaccination Tuesday, December 02, 2008, 08:30 An inquest into the death of an 18-month old boy who died 10 days after being given the controversial MMR jab will be held today. Fisher, described as a " healthy and robust child " was discovered dead in his cot in Cheltenham, Gloucestershire by his mother Fisher. She and husband Fisher believe the vaccine is " implicated " in their son's death – particularly as, according to their legal team, MMR can cause raised temperature in children who have previously suffered fever, as had. In September 2005 he suffered a febrile convulsion (an attack caused by fever), was treated at Cheltenham General Hospital and released the same day. On January 9 2006, was given his MMR vaccination and returned to his home in Wyman's Brook. He showed symptoms of lost appetite, red eyes, and diarrhoea before he died on January 19. A spokesman for solicitors Withy King, representing the family said: " It is documented that children who have experienced a febrile convulsion should be closely monitored following their MMR vaccination as it can raise their temperature. " Mr and Mrs Fisher insist they were not told this when they took for his MMR vaccination, nor were they asked about his medical history. " After his vaccination, developed a runny nose and gradually lost his appetite. He later developed red eyes and diarrhoea. " Mrs Fisher made an appointment for to see his GP but he was found dead in his cot on January 19 – the morning he was due to see the doctor. " In the absence of any other medical explanation, 's parents maintain that the MMR vaccine must be implicated in their son's death. " Gloucestershire Coroner Alan Crickmore will hear a day of evidence at the Shire Hall, Gloucester, before recording a verdict. Another Boy ! Another cover up ? Another piece of anecdotal evidence that means nothing ? How can we ever link vaccines to harm if we deny every bit of harm that is linked to vaccines?
